When should i medically treat my haemorrhoid?


Macclenny

I've had it for 3 days... and it hasn't seemed to get much better. I've been using Preperation H as well as icing it and takin warm baths often. I have been laying most of the time, as this makes it less painfull. It is definitly external, I'm 15, female, and I was wondering if I should wait longer to have it go away on its own, or if I should seek medical treatment. Will it be gone by monday, maybe?

It is odd for someone so young to develop one but it should subside on its own. If it does not a doctor may drain the inflamed vein or recommend other treatment. You may be straining while defecating or sitting on the bowl too long. If you need to take stool softeners temporarily, do so.

you are doing the right thing.you need to keep up with the ice. wrap a napkin around an ice cube and go to work. do that about 3-4 times a day. hold the ice cube to it until it is completely melted. you have to shrink the hemmorrhoid. also, be careful what you are eating. lots of fiber. generally we tell patients to get it treated if you have difficulty keeping yourself "clean back there" or if they bleed constantly. obviously the pain and itch, yes, makes most people seek out treatment.

Make an appointment with the doctor if it doesn't go away by Monday. If it's forcing you to be inactive, then you definitely want a doctor to evaluate the problem and provide medical treatment.Hemorrhoids are veins engorged with blood. They can cause pain and sometimes bleed. If they start bleeding, then see a doctor ASAP.
